Description
Are you exhausted with having the same fight with your partner? Does it feel like no matter how hard you try, you continue to have difficulty communicating or understanding each other? Are you desperate for you and your partner to stay connected even during difficult conversations? If any of these statements applies to you, then please let me help.
I am a warm, collaborative, deeply empathic, clinical psychologist with 20 years of experience working with individuals and partners. I specialize in working with couples in monogamous and open relationships and my aim is to help you and your partner(s) become equipped to do four specific things: 1) help you make better sense of your conflict or distance (i.e., how come it is happening/why you and your partner are showing up the way you do that results in conflict or distance) 2) learn how to effectively reach for and respond to each other when you are feeling angry and/or hurt 3) learn to repair and heal from the injuries of the past 4) communicate your needs effectively and proactively.
I identify as Black, Queer, Gender Non-Conforming, Nigerian, American and an immigrant and my lens as a clinician is influenced by all of those identities. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples, and I blend that framework with all that I have learned to be helpful for couples after two decades of doing this work. Let me help you have the relationship you want and deserve.
